Arash Irandoost writes:Since 1977, no two men have contributed more to the erosion of America's credibility and prestige than President Carter and his foreign policy advisor, Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski (with the verdict not yet in on President Obama). Jimmy Carter, aided by Mr. Brzezinski, introduced new directions in foreign policy that would ultimately trick Russia to invade Afghanistan in a cold blooded eagerness to payback Moscow for Vietnam and betray one of America's closest allies in the Middle East.

This much is certain: Nixon, a bold and brilliant strategist, would not have dragged the United States into a long, land war in Afghanistan; nor would he have needlessly invaded Iraq. The war against radical Islam would have been ... a war against radical Islam ... and it would have been over within weeks or months had Nixon or someone like him been in the White House on 9/11.
